Color Harmonies for your Home – Preservation Cafe

Oct 30, 2022

The October 18, 2022 presentation by Linda H. Bassert, Design Principal of Masterworks Window Fashions & Design: “Color Harmonies for your Home, Artistry at Your Windows,” has been recorded.
What do you need to know about color when choosing paint colors for the interior and exterior of your home? There are three things you can change about a paint color to get it right, three different aspects of what we call color – do you know what they are? On October 18, Linda Bassert will answer these questions and discuss the best way to sample paint colors. She will offer tips for selecting a paint color for your home and show some photographic examples of details brought out, or hidden, by paint color choices. A brief question and answer period will follow her presentation. Free. No reservations needed.
